Attempting to install Zappa on MacOS with:
pip install zappa
I get an error:
error: could not create '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/requestlogger': Permission denied
Searching for this error I found similar errors installing other packages, and the recommendation seems to be to use the –home option to install to your home dir. So instead, this worked:
pip install --home zappa
As part of putting together a GitLab CI pipeline to build a Python deployment for an AWS Lambda, I ran into an issue with the size of the build dir that I’m zipping up ready for deployment:
Uploading artifacts... ./build: found 2543 matching files ERROR: Uploading artifacts to coordinator... too large archive id=181 responseStatus=413 Request Entity Too Large status=413 Request Entity Too Large token=rtRUzgtp FATAL: Too large
Hmm. Ok. A quick search found this post which says there’s a setting to increase the max build artifact size – it’s under /admin/application_settings, in the Continuous Integration setting – looks like the default is 100MB, so let’s bump that up and try again:
I’m trying to package a Python based Lambda to AWS but when my Python handler is called, I get this error:
Unable to import module 'helloworld-lambda': /var/task/torch/_C.so: invalid ELF header
Searching around it appears some Python modules are platform specific, so when running ‘pip install –target’ to install modules on MacOS before zipping up and deploying as a Lambda, it appears this installs platform specific libraries that are not compatible with the AWS Lambda runtime.
I’ll try packaging up my app on Linux and then try again.
